Also, Dean McPhee - solo guitar, not similar but puts me in mind of Dylan Carlson who I'm quite a fan of. Saw a review in the Wire, looked up on youtube, purchased some mp3s. Have the new one "Fatima's Hand" on a shopping list.

Dean McPhee lives quite local to me, and plays around here quite a bit. Worth catching live. The Carlson comparison would have never occurred to me but there's something in it. A similar sense of space.
